89 Camry - hadheater core replaced and two days later battery died...any connection?

Mino 26 January 2005 18:42:15
 So I was having the infamous "window fogs up" problem with my 89 Toyota
Camry. As expected coolant was leaking into the heater and I had to
have the heater core replaced. About 2 days after getting my car back
from the mechanic, the battery died. I was driving and the light
flickered once, then 2 minutes later it flickered again, and two
minutes later the call killed. There was no response when I turned the
key...and no click. I had to have the car jumped and then drove home
without stopping.

So my question is whether replacing the heater core could have lead to
this problem. Are there any wires or connections that could have lead
to draining the battery? I asked the mechanic but he says there is no
relationship between the two.

Thanks for any help.

Mark

 Hey Mark,

I tend to agree with the wrench. All that a heater core is, is a radiator
inside your car where air blows through it to heat up the cab.

Unless there is a sensor in there I don't see how it could have caused the
problem.

How old is the battery?

Disconnect the terminals and charge up the battery and see if it cranks. If
it wont hold a charge, you're looking for a new one.

BTW if it's stick you don't need a battery. Just park it uphill every time
;)

Uhh sure, take out your battery and see how good that plan works.

 Well that's good to hear. Just seemed like too much of a coincidence. I
know that the heater core is mostly mechanical, but I also know they
need to take out part of the dashboard (center console) to replace it
which would involve minor electrical work.

The battery is about 3 years old. I'm going to have the mechanic
charge it up and see how it goes.

As for the hill idea...that'd be great except that I live in flat
snowed coated Chicago.

Thanks for the help.

 I see no correlation, other than really cold weather making both
problems worse.
